[Verse 1]
In the town that never sleeps
Lullabies of traffic beeps
Soaring silver skyline by the piers

There's a place I know well
Just south of kitchen's hell
The blaring sirens seem to disappear

[Pre-Chorus]
So look out on these cobblestones
Just one more time
Watching all the passers by
Their purses and their ties

[Chorus]
One more look around this place
Before you have to go (before you have to go)
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets

[Verse 2]
Local kids wearing black
Standing at the subway track
The tourists wearing every other shade
Staring out towards the shore
No one listens anymore
The melody the stunning river paints
[Pre-Chorus]
So look out on these cobblestones
Just one more time
Watching all the passers by
Their purses and their ties

[Chorus]
One more look around this place
Before you have to go (before you have to go)
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets

[Bridge]
Where the men hold hands in the silent night
And the grass is greener than the traffic lights
And the rain makes empty streets
And where the city hides to drift asleep

Where the men hold hands in the silent night
And the grass is greener than the traffic lights
And the rain makes empty streets
And where the city hides to drift asleep

[Chorus]
I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
I'll be waiting if you come on home
To Chelsea Streets
[Outro]
In the town that never sleeps
Lullabies of traffic beeps
Soaring silver skyline by the piers
